Ingredients

  • 2 cans refrigerated cinnamon rolls (preferably with icing)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (whole or almond)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 cup brown sugar
  • 0.5 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
  • 0.5 cup raisins or dried cranberries (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. Open the cinnamon roll cans and cut each roll into quarters. Place the pieces evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, ground cinnamon, and brown sugar until well combined.
  4. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cinnamon roll pieces in the baking dish, ensuring they are well coated.
  5. If using, sprinkle the chopped nuts and dried fruit over the top for added texture and flavor.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is puffed up and golden brown.
  7. While the casserole is baking, prepare the icing by using the packet that came with the cinnamon rolls. If desired, enhance it with a touch of milk for a drizzle consistency.
  8. Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Drizzle the icing over the top.
  9. Cut into squares and serve warm.
